  • jonhr13 Jon 🧠 (@jonhr13) reported

    We really though Mercy’s 6 man was rez was not the most the most broken ultimate in overwatch

  • MikeDaLGND MIKE 🤪 (@MikeDaLGND) reported

    @ImGriizz @PBrain1401 @_XboxNews The only way to know for sure is to give them time, and obviously for the deal to come through. But at least for major established titles like COD, Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, Overwatch, Diablo, etc this is more about expanding Game Pass than cutting people on certain platforms off.

  • danmcCoy3 THE GREAT TOM CRUISE SHIP (@danmcCoy3) reported

    @Alex_zedra @JakeSucky @IShowSpeed Why is it every game riot makes is cursed with this ****. Im not talking general trash talk, im talking **** this. League and Valorant have this problem. Overwatch...havnt played it in a while but I have seen this **** there too. Cod.....havnt seen it there all that much.

  • itsmeChis Chris Kornaros (@itsmeChis) reported

    The single best part of some Overwatch content creators slowly falling out of GM, them learning about smurfs. The copium for years that smurfing wasn’t a problem probably created more.

  • mew2heart ◦•●❤♡ mêw² hêår† ♡❤●•◦ (@mew2heart) reported

    @JohnXuandou It is the same problem with overwatch... But worse.

  • CreamySpe After-Darkitty (@CreamySpe) reported

    @Kea_AD I imagine it’s because of the games they began with being Overwatch and WOW respectively, xQc was already plenty popular with OW’s freshness alone The problem is that neither of these big streamers feel like they have a community, chat is just of unreadable noise or harassment

  • KatsuneUK ❄️ツkinari❄️ (@KatsuneUK) reported

    Overwatch really needs to fix their reward system, because im tired of playing always Tank when i Flex because nobody wants to play that dogshit role. Make DPS trash and tanks OP please.

  • Patrik24693087 Patrik (@Patrik24693087) reported

    @RogueCompany WHO asked for 3v3? ONLY new people.... Problem with competitive Is not a 3v3, 4v4,5v5 or 7v7 but the stupid matchmaking. RoCo Will Have the same fate as Overwatch... Good job.

  • LevyNeptoon I glued a block of wood to Jonny's foot (@LevyNeptoon) reported

    .....I think I'm gonna heat up my leftover Taco Bell and then play more Overwatch. I don't have a problem again, nuh uh

  • MasterMcNoodle EMGG MasterMcNoodle (@MasterMcNoodle) reported

    So I did a small trial stream last night and played a little Overwatch. My internet is being so dumb and my streams are laggy. I'm so sorry if you came to hang out. I'm gunna continue to stream periodically but just know, there will be lag. Please bear with me. Love you guys

  • platdva evie 🫶🏻 (@platdva) reported

    had to quit overwatch cause i had a glitch im gonna get temp banned from comp oh lord

  • DeadGalaxiesGG Lucho (@DeadGalaxiesGG) reported

    @JacobWolf Excellent article, the problem I see with esports is that they are trying to be like regular sports but the real growth is the content. Like I mentioned to #overwatchleague peeps before I don't want pro overwatch on the weekends only I want a pro overwatch channel like espn

  • luciferdoII donna !! 🖤 ash luv bot (@luciferdoII) reported

    i was about to fly off the handles with a full fledged overwatch rant oops. i have a lot of issues with that franchise, which is a shame bc it had so much potential to be something truly great

  • Deaner1445 Deaner (@Deaner1445) reported

    @Maplechu_ Yooo look at that positive rp pog overwatch sr glitch prsd activates...

  • KirbyCheatFurby Anthony (@KirbyCheatFurby) reported

    @KatsuneUK oh i know not everyone is like that, but it sounds like it could be a relatively common problem to deal with in a game like overwatch

  • flynn_mccracken The Lord Of War (@flynn_mccracken) reported

    @craig2835 @Ich2r You know, I didnt think of that. Its a good idea cuz then where ever the computer gets used, you cant play overwatch there. Only problem is that people can screw over other people by connecting to their internet.And if they use a vpn they will be fine

  • BrothaDom Dom ❤️💜💙 (@BrothaDom) reported

    "Oh, that's just a hard stuck plat opinion" is why people are worried about elo hell in Overwatch. If someone told you they were having trouble with something in game, and you said it's not a problem because they're in plat, they just want THAT to go away.

  • KohakuNakatomi Kohaku ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ 🎸🎼 | ThighHighVT🧦 (@KohakuNakatomi) reported

    Sorry game is being switched to Overwatch! Capture card issues sadly 🥺

  • Chatterboxfox_ Monica (@Chatterboxfox_) reported

    Hey @overwatch could you please fix the game so that we don’t get pulled into a game that immediately loses thanks

  • MuskyZune Zune 💨 (@MuskyZune) reported

    @Lykaios15 Stopped playing overwatch because of terrible and toxic teammates. It’s most likely not you and probably tank or dps that’s causing problems

  • RenaVanderbilt Rena Vanderbilt (@RenaVanderbilt) reported

    I am probably going to have to stream Overwatch today since I'm having trouble with launching SADX. We will see.

  • ShawnRomo_ Shawn Romo (@ShawnRomo_) reported

    Overwatch matchmaking is broken

  • KayuhJayuh KayJay (@KayuhJayuh) reported

    @BlizzardCS multiple times my friends or others have been kicked from overwatch comp games due to 'server error' and then when they relog, they're unable to rejoin? they don't lose SR but we do as it usually ends in a loss?

  • WildBoyFriend Best Boyfriend (@WildBoyFriend) reported

    so instead of installing overwatch I went to a few ow streams last night. Looks like misery. Hope ow 2 can relieve that. More than likely it will be more misery. Like misery -- but since you made such a long drawn out issue about wanting it and where is it that they have to smile

  • FMC_00 FMC_00 (@FMC_00) reported

    My nuclear take about this issue is that characters should be free in fighting games, like in overwatch.

  • Zethran00 Zethran (@Zethran00) reported

    i know nothing about gundam. i will pick whichever one is hanzo and or mcree and go from there until i realize all the base problems overwatch has will not be fixed in this gundam reskin.

  • AJPlays05 AH (@AJPlays05) reported

    @infrarogue89 But they don’t…? Phil has already said Cod is staying multiplat. That’s all that really matters besides maybe Overwatch or maybe even Crash. Regardless, not that big of a deal.

  • PintQuart someone’s son (@PintQuart) reported

    Overwatch can u not crash on me pls

  • packysmith Packy (@packysmith) reported

    @JezCorden Nothing cancelable in this statement. Overwatch is a top tier shooter. It’s biggest problem recently is the lack of meaningful updates to the game coupled with the palpable desire for Blizzard to release Overwatch 2.

  • X_Life_Style X Life Style (@X_Life_Style) reported

    @BootseyTV @infrarogue89 Continue is a key word, same like they used the word legacy with Bethesda They won't remove any game that already exist on Playstation, not talking about new games Call Of Duty Warzone Call Of Duty 2022, 2023 Overwatch Diablo 4 Next Crash (already in development) That's it 💀
